Get Your Business to Stage 5 and Beyond

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. If you benefited from reading The E-Myth Revisited this will be a really nice follow-up. It is very practical for the present-day entrepreneur looking to grow his/her business and lead a meaningful life. I've listened to it several times in just a few months.

Great book

ah, this is a Crankset group book. makes more sense, I've heard him speak at a conference before. He's also a Marine. Great man of mindset.
I love this book!

Fantastic— stop playing office!! GET MOVING

Chuck the author hit in on the spot wit his term, “your just playing office”.

Us entrepreneurs listen to books, watch webinars and go to seminars for some type of silver bullet to fix our business.

While this book could be another example of that learning but not doing loop I and so many other business people do. It is not. It is the one book that I actually stopped reading because chuck told me that if your up to this point in the book and didn’t do the exercises your just playing office.

Funny but brutally honest way to look at procrastination.

I stopped, did the exercises and now have finished the book but not the exercises.

I’m looking forward to joining my local 3to5 group to master mind and move forward!

Thanks Chuck!

Coming back to this book after failing at business

Do not listen to a word of this book and take it to heart if you will not do ALL of the things. I used this as an excuse to quit my stable job and go out on my own, I hired and scaled way too rapidly but I never put any systems or processes into place because that didn’t interest me.

This is not a buffet, it’s a recipe for disaster if you pick and choose which things you will do.

Now that I’ve been chewed up and spit out I’m rereading the book that started it all and my eyes are wide open to my blind spots. Now I know why it’s so important to be all about processes. I just thought I could hire talented people and have them document the processes but they procrastinated and avoided it because having expertise was their job security.

If you’re going base your business on this book make sure to review all of the materials and re-read it frequently. Otherwise you will just do the parts that are interesting to you and have a dysfunctional business.

I’m glad I came back to this book before giving up on my dream. I can turn it around if I actually put it all into practice.

Killer Book For An Business.

The approach is simplicity at its best.
Fantastic exercises and direction.
This is a must for every entrepreneur.

Great content!

Easy to follow and understand. Better than other books I read. Good examples and steps how to do it practically.

Eye opening with no fluff

Really good information, some of which challenged my thinking and ways of doing business. No fluff, just really sound suggestions. I will buy the workbook/book now because there are exercises that I want to do that didn't translate in the audiobook well enough for me to implement them.

I would listen to this again, though, to keep my thoughts focuses on the right areas for growth. Thanks, Chuck.

awesome blueprint to focus

this is not a great book for reading only while commuting. It is very practical with some stop and do it exercise that will help you gain clarity on where you are going and when you will get there.

Great Book!

Must read for anyone in a start up business!!! Best Book on Business- I definitely recommend it!
